Chapter 531: Hidden Hand

Since the quartermaster case was concluded and Nangong Wan'er was about to get married, Luo Qingluan finally had one less thing to worry about.

It's already the twenty-ninth day, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and even if it doesn't snow, a thick layer of snowflakes has piled up on the roof. Occasionally, when the sun comes out and melts, the snow water flows down the eaves and turns into transparent ice cubes, which is a different scene.

Luo Qingluan basically warms up in the room, and occasionally goes for a walk in the garden in the afternoon when the sun is shining. Although there are a lot of people in the Chu Palace, Luo Qingluan usually pays attention to it, and she wears a lot to cover the slightly protruding lower abdomen, and no one finds out that she is more than three months pregnant.

Since Luo Qingluan didn't talk about it for the time being, Dai Yue also paid more and more attention, doing everything herself, and hardly let Luo Qingluan touch any heavy objects. The daily meals are also deliberately prepared, anyway, the food in the Chu Wangfu is good, even if Luo Qingluan makes a big supplement to the chicken soup and fish soup every day, no one will feel that there is anything wrong.

It's just that Luo Qingluan is a little worried that it has been a while since she replied to Nalan Ye last time, and she doesn't know when she will receive his next letter. The imperial court did not receive an emergency military situation, of course Luo Qingluan was not worried that something would happen to him, but it was inevitable that he would miss it after not seeing him for many days, thinking of the lingering love of the month before his departure, he felt more and more longing, thinking of him coming back.

Sitting at the table by the window, Luo Qingluan couldn't write in a notebook.

This is her only 'job' at the moment, it doesn't take much effort, and it doesn't need to be brain-free, just think about it and it's a story that takes shape. Dai Yue didn't want her to be too boring, so she finally didn't stop her.

It's just that now, Luo Qingluan is holding the pen and tilting his head, the new story in front of him has only written a beginning, but his eyes are staring out of the window, and his thoughts have flown to the sky.

Nalan Night, Nalan Night, what are you doing? Why didn't you write to her, what the hell are you doing?

Maybe it was because of her heart, Luo Qingluan looked out the window, and there seemed to be a dark shadow in the distance, getting bigger and bigger, getting clearer and clearer, and coming straight towards her. When she got closer, she saw that it was indeed a dark harrier, and its dark feathers were particularly evident in a silvery world.

Immediately, his heart jumped, as if there were thousands of flowers blooming in front of him, Luo Qingluan stretched out his hand towards the dark harrier with a smile on his face: "Good, come here." ”

It seemed to be very familiar with her, and the dark harrier obediently landed in the palm of her hand, and even the claws were careful not to hook her. Luo Qingluan quickly untied the copper ring on its claws and took out a note that had been rolled into a small paper tube.

Sure enough, it was Nalan Ye's handwriting, but what Luo Qingluan didn't expect was that there was no usual love words on the letter, but only one sentence: Qingluan, beware of someone secretly attacking you, I am not around, you must be careful.

What the? It's actually a warning letter?!

Luo Qingluan suddenly became alert, and an ominous premonition arose.

Why would Nalan suddenly write such a letter to her? Nalan was far away at the border at night, why would he know that someone would attack him? If he knew something, why didn't he say it clearly? And what exactly is this secret hand, where did it come from, will someone attack her in the palace of the king of Chu, or will someone sneak attack her when she goes out?

As soon as she thought that Nalan Ye was using the dark harrier to tell her about the situation, she knew that she was afraid that it was very urgent. Luo Qingluan was even worried, not knowing what happened to Nalan Ye.

The calm and boring mood was suddenly replaced by a heaviness, and Luo Qingluan waited for suspicious people to analyze in his heart one by one. Who might have done it to her?

Nangong Wan'er's matter with her relatives has been decided, could it be that she is unwilling and knows that she suggested it to Nangong Qing, so Nangong Wan'er wants to send someone to deal with her? Or is it someone else...... Luo Qingluan couldn't imagine that since she was pregnant, she rarely went out, if someone wanted to deal with her, why didn't she start before, but chose this time?

If it is someone who has only offended recently, but she hardly goes out of the door, how can she offend someone? Or is it that the person who was implicated because of the munitions case couldn't deal with it because he hated Nalan Ye, so he turned his head to deal with her as a woman?

"Miss, what are you doing in a daze, the sea cucumber black chicken soup that has just been stewed in the kitchen, you can eat it while it's hot." Dai Yue's voice suddenly came from behind her, interrupting Luo Qingluan's thoughts, she turned her head to look, only to see Dai Yue walking in with a blue and white porcelain white cup, and shook her head helplessly.

"Daiyue, I'm not tired, look at you like this." Luo Qingluan retracted her thoughts at this time, not letting her see her mood, so she simply put down the pen again, and when Daiyue put down the white cup and opened it, she suddenly smelled a fragrant smell.

"This chicken soup has been stewed for two hours, keep it nourishing, and Miss will have to finish it." Dai Yue stood next to her with the appearance of an overseer.

Originally, she was still bored by Nalan Ye's reminder, but Luo Qingluan didn't want her mood to affect Daiyue, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore.

Looking at the big bowl of fragrant chicken soup in front of him, Luo Qingluan suddenly became distressed: "I only ate it an hour ago, and now you want me to eat it again?" Okay later? ”

I used to think that eating was a pleasure, but since she became pregnant, Dai Yue has opened the habitual mode for her. How many meals must be eaten every day, what to eat at each meal, and what to eat, Dai Yue has to keep an eye on her. Eat a little less, Dai Yue persuaded her bitterly that for the sake of the baby in her womb, she must eat more, and it is best to grow fat and fat, so that she will have the strength to have a child when the time comes.

It's so big, Luo Qingluan can't figure out where Daiyue, an unmarried little girl, knows so much, she is even more serious than her. Being stared at all day long at how much you have to eat, and you are tired of the delicacies of the mountains and seas. Besides, Luo Qingluan usually likes spicy flavors, but when she is pregnant, she must quit spicy things, every day is a light taste, and she is about to vomit when she eats.

Seeing Luo Qingluan's sad face and wanting to hide, Dai Yue also noticed the note in her hand, as well as the dark harrier standing next to her pecking feathers, she squeezed her eyes, stuck her waist fiercely, stared at her and said, "Miss, no wonder you were stunned just now, it turns out that you finally received a letter from the prince?" If you don't eat obediently to take care of your body, when the prince comes back, I will give the prince a good complaint. Also, in two days, Chinese New Year's Eve, the queen will invite you into the palace, I think you won't go at all, you eat so little, I don't worry......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, can't I eat it?" Seeing that Daiyue was about to start the gushing mode again, Luo Qingluan could only beg for mercy, pressed his heart, and honestly picked up the bowl.

Scooping up a spoonful of chicken soup, Luo Qingluan brought it to his lips and blew it, and was about to drink it, when he frowned suddenly.

The original fragrant chicken soup has an extra flavor that is not obvious. Ke Luo Qingluan was so familiar with pharmacology, she felt that something was wrong when she smelled it, she approached and sniffed it carefully, her heart sank, and her face changed.

"Daiyue, are you keeping this chicken soup to boil? Have you ever left halfway through? ”

The original sea cucumber chicken soup nourished and tonic, but now that people have put more things into it, not only has it lost its original effect, but it has also become a deadly poison. If she didn't notice, she was afraid that if she drank this bowl, she would die in less than a quarter of an hour.

How could such a vicious thing appear in the Chu Palace, and be mixed into her diet? Just received a reminder from Nalan Ye, she didn't feel that she had an extra heart, and hesitated a little, but she didn't expect to really notice that something was wrong.

Looking at Luo Qingluan's appearance and what she asked, Dai Yue also knew that something was wrong: "I specially instructed the kitchen to eat what Miss usually eats, but they all make it, and I will get it when it is done." This chicken soup is also ...... Miss, is there a problem with the chicken soup? ”

As she spoke, Dai Yue panicked: "Miss, I don't know anything, how can this chicken soup be ...... I didn't mess around in there......"

"Daiyue, I know it's not you!" Luo Qingluan knew that it was definitely not Dai Yue, so she immediately showed her the letter from Nalan Ye just now, and comforted her: "You have been with me for so many years, how can I doubt you?" I'm afraid that there are people with ulterior motives in the palace of King Chu, if I don't find out, I'm afraid that I will really be unlucky. ”

Thinking that Luo Qingluan had almost eaten the chicken soup he served just now and had an accident, Dai Yue was scared and a cold sweat came out. She held the bowl of chicken soup, her eyes were full of fear, and her hands were trembling: "Who is it...... Who wants to hurt Miss? ”

This kind of thing happened in the Chu Palace, and it came so quickly, even Luo Qingluan didn't expect it.

All along, she felt that the Chu Palace's mansion was impregnable, even if Nalan was not there at night, there were so many guards left by him, patrolling day and night, almost comparable to the palace. However, when this bowl of problematic chicken soup appeared, she realized that someone had really mixed in and wanted to poison her.

But after thinking about it, Luo Qingluan felt that there was something wrong.

The people of the entire Xichu knew that they were proficient in medical skills, even if they wanted to kill her, they wouldn't use such a clumsy method as poisoning, right? Could it be that the other party doesn't know this? So it can be inferred from this that the other party is not familiar with her, and even does not know that she is proficient in medical skills?

However, this point is a little unreasonable, but if you want to deal with a person, it is impossible not to investigate clearly. But the other party still chose to poison, but I was afraid that it was not that I didn't know, but that I took advantage of this and felt that she would be negligent. Moreover, the rarity of this poison is difficult to unravel even if she is hit!

If it weren't for Nalan Ye's timely letter and just the right reminder, maybe she would have really been tricked.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingluan glanced at the bowl of chicken soup and said to Dai Yue: "Wait for you to go out, let Xu Lian come for a trip, don't say anything, pretend that nothing happened, you know?" ”

Feeling the seriousness of the matter more and more, Daiyue tried her best to restrain her panic, nodded and went out.

After a while, Xu Lian came, Luo Qingluan told Xu Lian about the poisonous chicken soup, and told her that someone was going to assassinate her, Xu Lian's eyes were about to pop out when she heard it: "What, princess, someone dares to murder you?" Who it is, if I let me know, I have to dismantle that man. ”

"I haven't been out recently, I think this person has already mixed into the Chu Palace, since I haven't been poisoned by this chicken soup, then this person will definitely do it again."

Luo Qingluan told her plan again, and asked Xu Lian to eat and sleep with her for the past few days, and if something happened, she could deal with it in time.

In order not to startle the snake, Luo Qingluan asked Daiyue to still take the bowl of chicken soup out, saying that she couldn't eat it, and she seemed to have some cold, nausea and wanted to vomit. Dai Yue sent the chicken soup back to the kitchen, and then found a little girl to star, saying that she was asked to stare at the chicken soup, and no one was allowed to eat the princess's things greedily. Then he went to grab medicine for Luo Qingluan with great fanfare.

In just a moment, the people of the entire Chu Palace's palace knew that their princess was sick again, but it was just a small wind chill.

In the evening, Luo Qingluan used to eat as usual, and prepared to rest after bathing. There was no movement on the first night, but on the second night, just after the child, Xu Lian, who was sleeping outside her, found something and whispered in her ear: "Someone is coming, don't worry, princess, I have been waiting for a long time, and I will see me later!" ”

Mentally prepared, Luo Qingluan turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a figure printed on the door, and then the paper paste on the door was punctured, and a slender bamboo tube stretched in.
